People only try to play you when they think they're smarter than you. It pisses you off because it indicates that the other person somehow, sees you as mentally inferior...one who can be manipulated by someone as wise as they are. It's worked for them at times...with other people, and it always comes as a shock to them when you're not as easily played.

Whether you're just playing a game or simply living your life, the key is respecting other players. I think the element of "respect" is lost these days and that's when things get messy... and people get hurt.

By the way, Hello. My name is Rich and I like the way you write. I hope you don't mind me drop in every now and then.
